  • In The Angry Birds Movie, the stolen eggs are stashed in a room with "NO EGGS IN HERE" written on the doors.
    Chuck: "No eggs in-" [gasps] Ooh, these are clever pigs.
  • Arthur Christmas: There is absolutely nothing to see at the North Pole.
  • Harv buttering up Lightning in Cars:
    Harv: And it is such an honor to be your agent that it almost hurts me to take ten percent of your winnings. And merchandising. And ancillary rights in perpetuity— anyway, what a race, huh, champ?
  • In Ice Age: Continental Drift, when Crash and Eddie didn't watch over Peaches the way Manny commanded:
    Manny: You two were supposed to be responsible uncles!
    Eddie: What? I didn't see Peaches sneak off maybe 15 or 20 minutes ago.
    Crash: Or that she went with Louis to the falls.
  • How to Train Your Dragon (2010):
    Gobber: Uh, Stoick, I was... overhearing some of the men just now... and some of them are wondering what exactly it is we are up to here? Not me, I always know you're the man with the plan- but some, not me, are wondering if there is, in fact, a plan at all, and what it might be?
  • Emphasized for laughs in The Incredibles as Bob helps a client navigate his insurance company's red tape:
    Bob: All right, listen closely. I'd like to help you, but I can't. I'd like to tell you to take a copy of your policy to Norma Wilcox on — (whispering) Norma Wilcox. W-I-L-C-O-X. — on the third floor. But I can't. I also do not advise you to fill out and file a WS2475 form with our legal department on the second floor. I wouldn't expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do."
  • Klaus: When Jesper is trying to get Klaus to make new toys (and has been urging the children to write letters to him), he tells him that the children are writing letters to him, "completely unprompted".
  • The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part:
  • Rango: Beans's father most certainly DID NOT die when he fell drunk down a mine shaft.
  • Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: When the alternate universe Spiders are introducing themselves, Spider-Ham outstretches his hand, which is completely drenched, for a handshake. He immediately notes that his hands are wet because he just washed his hands and insists there's no other reason.
  • Storks: Nate's letter to the storks, which contains repeated assertions that it was sent by his adult parents, who are adults, and most certainly not by Nate.
  • In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Bowser interrogates Luigi for information about if he knows Mario. Luigi, being too worried about his brother, ends up attempting to lie, but it comes out as him not knowing "every human being with a mustache, wearing an identical outfit [to Luigi's] with a hat with the letter of his first name on it". Bowser doesn't buy it for a second.
